May due dates lets labor watch :-)

[redlemonade]

Congrats to the new mamas!!

I have 9 days to my due date and I'm currently feeling like a cat! I don't want to have visitors or to go out anywhere; I just want to be at home with DH! I wonder if that's a sign My parents want to come visit next week and even though I've said no, they're putting me on a guilt trip They stress me at the best of times, but visiting right before my due date? Nope! That's a sure fire way to stall the much needed oxytocin! Plus, I haven't told them that we're aiming for a home birth (they are against home births and would only stress me) so I'd have to hide the birth pool etc etc. Ugh!

Anyone ever try castor oil??

 

[daddiesgift]

Drinking castor oil is not recommended. It can give you the poos as well as the baby leading to meconium in your waters and its not for sure youll even go in labor so baby can face infection.

I have been M.I.A!! I was due on May 19th 2014 BUT I had a very high risk pregnancy as some of you know. I was in and out of the hospital the whole month of April. I went to the doctors on April 16th 2014 for a routine check-up and I had scheduled my C-section because vaginally was not a viable option because of my Crohn's disease. Come to find out my blood pressure was extremely high, I was having actual contractions (NO BH for me) and very mild seizures which I thought were just the chills. I was sent to L&D and they hooked me up with IVs and MAG to stop everything...well that didn't work out and I was Ambalanced over to Walter Reed in MD. That night was a nightmare contractions were 2 minutes apart but my mucus plug didn't come out and my water never broke. The MAG I swear it made everything worse! lol They couldn't give me pain meds for the contractions but finally around 3am they said we have to get him out! So at 3:47am Maddux Micheal Falcon McCarthy was born 4 pounds 9 ounces and 15inches long. He was developed just enough not to need NiCU! He was closely watched though. He is truly perfect.

Good Luck to all of you who are about to pop out the little buns that have been baking.

Arthur was born May 9th, at 3:43am. 5lbs 11oz, 52cm.
I was hoping for a natural birth at the birth center, but wasn't progressing, so 18 hours after my waters broke I was sent to the hospital. I ended up asking for an epidural as I was too exhausted to stand the pain anymore...
So far we're doing okay. Struggling with breastfeeding and he still hasn't peed, but it could be worse. At least I'll bring home a baby on Mothers Day!

7 lbs 7 0z 20 1/2 in long

9 hours of labor, only 30 mins of pushing..Epidural and i didn't feel a thing, but i did get 2 2nd degree tears! We went home after one night in the hospital and are doing great now!! He had high jaundice at first but is all cleared up almost and very healthy!!

That was it! 14 hours of all natural labor and delivery It was freaking amazing!!!! Grayson Matthew was born 5/7/14 weighing a whooping 8lbs 7oz and 21 1/2in long.

Thought I'd drop in to say that although my baby was meant to be a May Baby, he got a little overexcited, and appeared on 17 April instead. So now at his due date, he is actually 3 weeks old! Am just so happy that he is here.

Here is our little Edward:

Have a look at my 'Do I have to spell it out?' thread about my mum being here for my due date. If I could do it again, would I have her here? OH HELL NO.

Anyone DTD recently and noticed changes? We did yesterday and my cervix was so so tender. Thought it may start things off but all I had was some mild period pain for a couple of hours.

Aw how's it going with your mum now? She leaves soon right? My parents said they'll 'only stay a couple of hours' which is nowhere near as difficult as your mum staying for as long as she has but still much more than I want right now.

I have a very stressful job which I've just finished; we've had tons of visitors - including my parents - over the last couple of months, and now I just need 'us' time. I don't think that's too much to ask for!
